This would be a 1/4 mile track and it will probably have 650 miles on it by Sunday track day?

Thanks Mark.

Consult the manual. Break in period on the truck is 1000 miles. Why on earth would you want to race it anyway?

^ Because they are having Ford vs. Gm day at the track. What harm is that? I prefer having the faster pick-up, the most capable, most payload. It's the best of all worlds, why not rub it in their face. I say run it!

If anything breaks or you pucker your truck don't let anyone know it happened at a track....your warranty will be toast......
